president obama and house speaker john boehner haven't budged. yesterday we heard of talk of olive branches and reaching across the aisle. but this evening speaker bonner said this to abc news. >> raising tax rates is unacceptable and frankly couldn't even pass the house. i'm not sure it can pass the senate. >> he could be right about that. he's talking about raising tax rates. jessica yellin reminded us today that the white house has vowed to veto any bill that doesn't extend the bush tax cuts for families making $250,000, less than $250 a year. he's been very explicit. tax rates will be raised for people who make more than that amount of money. so how did the president respond to john boehner's line in the sand? well we haven't heard from him since he returned to washington yesterday. we were told though by the white house this evening he'll make a statement on the fiscal cliff tomorrow but as far as what we know right now the administration says the president has already laid out his plan. it's a plan he says would cut the deficit by $4 trilli

speaker boehner. as for the senate, the democrats take control of the senate. we don't know the exact margins there as they have a chance to pick up a net gain in governing majority. it depends on two races too close to call. those races are in the states of montana and north dakota. in montana the democratic senator jon tester goes against denny rayberg and rick burg against heidi heitkamp. we may not know the outcome there is for a while. a couple high-profile races to tell you about, missouri and indiana. those seats both won by democrats. the republicans in the races were the ones that made the controversial comments about rape. in both cases they probably cost republicans the seats. they may have been sure things for republicans without the comments. then maybe the most high-profile race in massachusetts, elizabeth warren becomes the first female senator from the bay state by defeating republican incumbent scott brown. what a whirlwind two years for scott brown. in january of 2010 when he really
